The Silent and Eerie School (Part 21)
The table in front of her blocked her view; from Li Su's angle, all she could see was a pair of black shoe heels.
Li Su held her breath.
The black leather shoes in her line of sight took two more steps toward the table, finally stopping directly in front of Li Su.
Please...
Don't look down, leave quickly...
Please...
Li Su stretched out her hands and covered her mouth tightly, pleading silently.
Crystalline tears slid down the corners of his eyes, silently falling between the boy's fingers, meandering down, and finally sliding into the wounds on his fingertips caused by the rough ground.
The fresh wound hadn't even had time to heal before it was stimulated by the salty tears, immediately sending waves of stinging pain through it.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Li Su saw the person in front of her slowly bending their knees.
His every move seemed to be played in slow motion.
"I found Susu."
A familiar male voice rang in my ears.
When Qi Wujin found Li Su, the boy was huddled under a small table, his hands covering the lower half of his face. His originally fair face was stained with dirt and turned red from holding his breath for a long time.
Anger, regret, lingering fear, relief...
Too many complex emotions surged and overturned at this moment, causing Qi Wujin's heart to clench with pain.
After getting his medicine from the infirmary, he returned home to find his room, which should have been occupied by a boy, completely empty.
Qi Wujin's heart was about to stop beating.
At night, guards patrol the school to check if unruly freshmen are sleeping properly as required. If they are caught, there will be no other outcome for them.
The reason the guards hadn't noticed them before was because he was with Li Su, and the NPCs were suppressed by the highest authority and didn't dare to cause trouble. But now it's different.
He wasn't by Su Su's side, and besides, Su Su's knee was injured again. If she were discovered, she wouldn't even be able to escape.
He could no longer bear the pain of losing Susu.
Qi Wujin panicked for only a moment before immediately clutching the medicine bottle in his hand, turning around and running out of the room.
He knew that Su Su only had one place to go.
really.
Here, he found his Susu.
The game of hide-and-seek has come to an end.
"come out."
Qi Wujin's voice was cold, but if you listened carefully, you could easily detect the lingering fear hidden in his icy tone.
Li Su covered her mouth in fear and backed away.
The man in front of me is terrifying.
His thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. His arm, which was propped on the table, blocked the light, completely obscuring his features and making it impossible to see his expression.
But Li Su could sense his intense anger.
"Waaaaah..."
"My heart is pounding, everyone..."
"Teacher, you're finally here! My darling was almost scared to death!"
"That's strange. My teacher is clearly an NPC, but seeing that it was him who found Su Su, I actually felt relieved..."
"The teacher must have been scared too, right? Look, his hands are still shaking on the table."
The boy under the table had his face flushed red, his terrified eyes filled with tears, and he looked at him with trembling eyes.
Qi Wujin tried to calm himself down and said softly, "Put your hands down and breathe slowly."
When someone pointed it out, Li Su realized that she was so scared that she had even forgotten how to breathe.
Rapid breathing instantly filled the quiet space.
"Cough cough cough—"
Taking in air too quickly and greedily, Li Su couldn't take it and coughed violently.
Qi Wujin concealed the emotions in his eyes and knelt on one knee in front of Li Su.
Su Su resisted his touch, so he stayed by Su Su's side until she was no longer afraid.
Li Su coughed until tears streamed down her face before she slowly recovered. She subconsciously looked up at Qi Wujin, only to find that he had knelt down in front of her without her noticing.
"Can you come out and apply the medicine?" Qi Wujin clenched his fist and slowly extended it in front of Li Su, but kept a safe distance, slowly opening it just before it was fully open.
Li Su looked down and found a tube of ointment lying in Qi Wujin's palm, the same one that Qi Wujin had given him in the office that afternoon.
Suddenly, her nose felt sore and dry. Li Su sniffed and remained silent.
Qi Wujin lowered his eyes and saw the blood on Li Su's cheek. His gaze continued downwards, landing on the boy's hand with the cut.
"My hand is bleeding too."
Qi Wujin felt his heart aching as well.
He clenched his hand tightly at his side, the veins bulging, his palm aching from the nails digging into it, but Qi Wujin seemed oblivious, just holding his hand tightly.
He clearly said this afternoon that he wouldn't let his baby get hurt, but now, his baby is still hurt.
What saddened Qi Wujin even more was that his Su Su seemed to be even more afraid of him.
What should he do? He didn't know how to make Li Su stop being afraid of him.
A gust of wind carrying a sweet fragrance blew by, and then a soft little person fell into my arms.
A suppressed sob came from the boy's chest, trembling: "Waaah... I'm so scared..."
Qi Wujin's dark eyes were momentarily lost in thought, slowly moving upwards without focus.
Before his brain could even process what was happening, Qi Wujin's body had already moved.
The clenched fist at her side slowly loosened and moved to the boy's back, gently patting it.
"Don't be afraid... Su Su, don't be afraid..."
I am here.
The remaining two words stuck in his throat, and Qi Wujin did not utter them.
What identity does he hold while accompanying Li Su? Even he himself doesn't know. He's currently disguised as an NPC, and he can't explain his true identity to Li Su.
That obsessive love lingered on his lips, yet he couldn't express it.
Excessive panic had left Li Su exhausted and slumped in Qi Wujin's arms, gasping for breath softly.
He was afraid of this strange game, afraid of the terrible truths, afraid of the darkness that was about to devour him, afraid of the strange-looking NPCs in this instance... He was too timid; he was afraid of too many things.
However, the person in front of him always made him both afraid and wanting to get closer.
Li Su didn't know the reason, and she didn't understand where her fear of him and her desire to get closer came from.
However, when she heard him comforting her again and again, Li Su couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
Perhaps it was because it was too dark tonight, or perhaps the pain from my wounds was too intense, or perhaps the embrace of the person in front of me felt too reliable...
In short, Li Su followed her heart this time and reached out to hug the man in front of her who was both like an NPC and not like an NPC.
The person in his arms was still trembling, and Qi Wujin felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Waaaaah... I'm crying so hard..."
"A beautiful love story between a player and an NPC! I'm already shipping them!"
"SuSu baby is crying so pitifully, so beautifully..."
The fabric of the suit jacket on his chest was already soaked with the boy's tears, and the warm touch was hard for Qi Wujin to ignore, making his heart ache as if it were being squeezed. When the crying of the person in his arms gradually subsided, Qi Wujin composed himself, picked up Li Su and placed him on the leather armchair in front of the table.
Li Su's vision was blurred by tears, and she could only vaguely see the man in front of her take something out of his pocket and open it.
Immediately afterwards, a cool sensation covered his cheek.
"Don't worry, it's just medical disinfectant wipes," the NPC in front of him explained gently.
A gentle touch slowly glided across his cheek.
Qi Wujin lowered his eyes and carefully wiped away the blood and dirt from Li Su's face.
The boy's cheeks became clean and soft again, but the tip of his nose and eyes had turned a light pink from crying.
Qi Wujin sighed silently, carefully avoiding Li Su's wound, and placed the boy's hand in his own palm.
The ash and bloodstains on her fingertips were gently wiped away, and Li Su felt almost no pain.
The cooling ointment was squeezed into his palm.
Qi Wujin gently rubbed the ointment into the boy's palm with his fingers, then carefully applied it to the boy's hands.
"Drip." Warm tears dripped into the wound that Qi Wujin had just applied, splashing a small swirl of the milky white ointment that had been applied.
Qi Wujin couldn't help but feel fortunate. Luckily, he had applied the ointment thickly, so the boy's tears didn't wash it all away. Otherwise, the wet, salty tears falling into the wound would have caused even more pain.
"Drip, drip..." One tear after another fell onto the boy's palm.
Qi Wujin panicked and quickly raised his hand to place it on Li Su's palm to prevent tears from dripping into the wound on his hand.
A small pool of tears had already accumulated in the man's large palm. Qi Wujin raised his head.
The boy in front of me had his head down, biting his lower lip, and silently shedding tears.
Qi Wujin felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly, and his breathing became difficult. He tried to keep his voice down: "What's wrong? Did I hurt Su Su?"
Li Su remained silent, large tears falling one by one onto Qi Wujin's hand, stirring a tremor in his heart.
Qi Wujin tilted his head back and gently kissed Li Su's tearful eyes, taking all the hot tears into his lips.
Even the tears between her eyelashes were kissed away.
Li Su's pupils trembled slightly.
The warm, soft lips continued to move downwards.
You can occasionally feel a moist and sticky sensation on your cheeks that is even more so than on your lips.
Li Su stopped crying, her eyes blankly staring at some unknown spot in the school history museum.
His tears were licked away.
Qi Wujin trembled uncontrollably.
This time, Su Su was not bewitched by him.
This time, Su Su, who wasn't bewitched by him, didn't push him away.
Does this mean that his Su Su at least doesn't dislike him?
Qi Wujin, who had intended to swallow all the boy's tears and stop, suddenly found himself unable to stop.
He originally only wanted to kiss Li Su's eyes; he didn't want to see those beautiful eyes shed tears. But now, Qi Wujin suddenly felt his throat become very dry and thirsty.
He wanted more.
Qi Wujin's lips moved down, and a tentative kiss gently landed on Li Su's lips.
if......
If Su Su pushes him away, he will stop immediately...
Qi Wujin silently began to count down in his mind.

The boy in her arms offered no resistance.

The corner of her lips trembled slightly, parting into a tiny slit.
